Some of my favorite teacher blogging friends are joining forces for a super fun link up highlighting some of our favorite products, with a twist! :)

Click on the image above to check out the Fabulous Feedback posts from some of my dear blogging buddies! We are highlighting some of our favorite products with a special twist. Below are images for three of my favorite products and some of the fabulous feedback that I have received from my fabulous customers. Guess what? If I highlighted your feedback, you get a FREE item of your choosing from my TPT store, just email me at lisa@fourthnten.com if I did, I just ask that you be honest. :)

One of my favorite products is my Fabulous Back to School Fun pack. Although this school year isn't quite over, my mind has been thinking a little bit about next year too! I love, love, love building community with my students at the beginning of the year and getting to know my students before the pressure of the curriculum starts. :)

One of my goals as a teacher this year was to improve my students' fluency. Many of my students were far below grade level in fluency this year, so we've played lots and lots of fluency games but Straight A's is probably my kiddos' favorite. They love the dog ate your homework cards, they always make them giggle.

Another favorite product of mine is my end of the year memory books. :) I have them for second, third, and fourth grade. Last year my second graders loved filling them out and they were the perfect way to fill some of those awkward empty spaces during the end of the year. Plus it makes a great memento of your class' year together.

Click on the links above or here, second, third, and fourth, to check them out on TpT.

Also, lots of you have asked for school themed roll and covers, and I am happy to say they are available! :) Click on the link or picture below to check them out on TpT.

So every week, I have great intentions of joining up for Five for Friday and well then Friday slips away from me. I'm sure falling asleep on the world's most comfortable coach at 8:00 doesn't help. ;) I'm serious, I have the world's most comfortable couch. I fall asleep on it pretty much every night and head up to my bed at about 2:00 in the morning.

So let's get started! :)

ONE: We changed seats this week. PTL. :) We do A LOT of cooperative learning in my class and my kiddos are always talking andworking together. Which is great but after a few weeks, the bickering starts, which lets me know it's time for a change. :) Since I don't want to change seats again before the end of the year, we did lots of talking about what we wanted from our group members and each group made little promises to each other that I hung up in the room.

They've been great for solving little bickering that has come up. "Do you remember that you said you would be _________ blank?" was all I had to say and it stopped. #magic :)

TWO: We went on our field trip to Great American Ballpark, home of the Cincinnati Reds, and had a great time on Thursday!

We had a great time touring the stadium and creating our own baseball teams. Each group of students was given a budget and they had to create the best team they could. Then we toured the Reds' Hall of Fame and Museum. I have lots of baseball fans in my room and we all had a great time!

THREE: The weather has been super nice lately. So my yard and grill has been getting lots of attention. :)

FOUR: We started our Mother's Day Cookbook project last week. I have to say this years' class is a huge fan of spaghetti and brownies!It's always fun to put these cookbooks together because usually some kind of theme unfolds. One year it was very appetizer heavy and then next pretty much every recipe was sometime of sweet! You can check this project out on TpT{here}.

FIVE: Fourth and Ten is now on Instagram! I have had a personal Instagram for a few years now and LOVE it. :) So I'm excited to be have one for the blog as well. :)
